Sohail Tanvir to JO Holder, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, short ball aimed at the badge of the helmet, Holder can't control a pull. He top-edges it in the air. Hasan Ali misjudges it. He runs in as opposed to staying back and sees the ball sail over him.

19.4

Sohail Tanvir to JO Holder, No run, the batsman backs away outside leg, Tanvir follows him and beats the slog.

19.3

Sohail Tanvir to CR Brathwaite, 1 run, Gee, what was that? Carlos pre-meditates - switches into a left-hander even before Tanvir delivers the ball. Tanvir was smart enough to push it well outside leg or outside off (for a left-hander). This cutter is squirted away off the toe end.

19.2

Sohail Tanvir to JO Holder, 1 run, another slower cutter on leg stump, this is short, Holder camps back and pulls it away to deep square leg.

16.3

Wahab Riaz to CR Brathwaite, BOUNDARY, 6 runs, Flat-batted smash! Carlos makes room outside leg and shimmies out. This is a head-high short ball angling away around off or a shade outside off. He reaches out and tennis-swings it straight down the ground.

16.2

Wahab Riaz to JO Holder, 1 run, short of a length and angling away, the ball hits the bat as opposed to bat hitting ball. Played to point.

16.1

Wahab Riaz to KA Pollard, OUT, No run, Pakistan continue to pepper Pollard with short balls. He has been bounced out now. Banged outside off, Pollard has to fetch the pull from there. He ends up top-edging a catch to deep square leg.

Hasan Ali to CR Brathwaite, 2 runs, length ball on off, right in the slot, Carlos presses forward and swings at . Shehzad runs to his right from wide long-on, takes a swirling catch.... but realises he is about to lose his balance and tumble over the boundary. So, he flicks the ball back into the field of play and saves four runs for his team.

Wahab Riaz to KA Pollard, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, banged in short and outside off, Pollard fetches it from there and flat-bats a pull to the left of deep midwicket.

11.3

Shadab Khan to CR Brathwaite, No run, faster and shorter, played back.

11.2

Shadab Khan to KA Pollard, 1 run, Dropped! Kamran shells it at backward point. Why is he fielding at backward point? Shadab could have had 4 for 3. Tossed-up legbreak, turns away just outside off, Pollard swishes and skews it to the right of Kamran. He was painfully slow to react. Dives late to his right but can't close his fingers around the ball. It pops out. It looks ugly. Pakistan could have had Babar, Shehzad or Malik at backward point.

Hasan Ali to CR Brathwaite, No run, full and outside off, Carlos pushes loosely and inside-edges it onto the pad.

10.5

Hasan Ali to R Powell, OUT, No run, trapped plumb in front. This the slower offcutter from Hasan, nips back in and hits the pad in front of middle and leg. Powell had no clue about it, playing across the line so early and missing it.

Malik: "Shaaaadabbbbbbbb.....the guy I was looking for.....starts with a bang in international arena as well.... what a start and again the googly..."

7.4

Shadab Khan to LMP Simmons, OUT, No run, what a debut for Shadab! Poor shot from Simmons, though. He simply drags it back onto the stumps. Normal legbreak outside off, Simmons looks to sweep against the turn. Sweep across the line. Sweeps with his head looking away. That was how bad it was. Simmons only drags it back on via a bottom edge.

7.3

Shadab Khan to KA Pollard, 1 run, Pollard uses his feet and drives a full ball to leg for one.

7.2

Shadab Khan to CAK Walton, OUT, No run, Shadab takes a wicket off his second ball on debut! This one turns in - the wrong'un. Starts outside off and comes back in, Walton was looking for the legbreak, he plays down the wrong line and is pinned in front of middle. The tracker shows this would have grazed leg, pointing to umpire's call.

7.1

Shadab Khan to CAK Walton, No run, top-spinner outside off, short, chopped to short third man.

Imad Wasim to MN Samuels, OUT, No run, an appeal for lbw, umpire Brathwaite raises his finger and sends back Samuels. Non-turning arm-ball. Samuels uses his feet and plays across the line. Imad fires it flatter and faster. Pings the back pad in front of middle. It would have missed leg? Yep, the tracker suggests it would head past the leg stump.

6.2

Imad Wasim to MN Samuels, No run, down the track, Imad drags his length back on off stump, pushed back to the bowler.

6.1

4.3

4.2

Hasan Ali to CAK Walton, No run, really full and outside off, driven on the up to mid-off. Kamran, the comeback man, collects the ball and flings it to the bowler. Wahab hugs Kamran and has a laugh with him.

One slip in place

Imad Wasim to CAK Walton, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, slides on outside off, there are two men behind point, but still Walton finds the gap. Precise placement. Leans back and late-cuts it deftly as the ball skips away to the boundary.

2.5

2.2

Imad Wasim to E Lewis, OUT, 1 run, Shehzad swoops down on the ball and nails a direct hit at the striker's end. Lewis is caught short on the second. This is fractionally short and middle and leg, the batsman goes on the back foot and punches it through midwicket. Shehzad tears to his left from wide long-on, collects the ball with just one hand, and fires a flat, accurate throw. Excellent reflexes from Shehzad. He leaps, pumps his fist, and celebrates animatedly.

2.1

Imad Wasim to E Lewis, No run, short and outside off, skips back and chops the ball straight to cover.

Mohammad Hafeez to E Lewis, BOUNDARY, 6 runs, Boom! Dropped short and outside off, Lewis is super quick to pick up the length. Rocks back and pulls it with immense authority over midwicket. Good use of the crease.

1.4

Mohammad Hafeez to E Lewis, No run, drift now for Hafeez. Short and darts back in, cramps the left-hander for room. Kept out.

1.3

Mohammad Hafeez to CAK Walton, 1 run, non-turning offbreak, full on middle, driven with a straight bat to long-on who is in the deep.

Dr.Tahir: "Sarfraz is a captain who loves to chase. This has been evident in his short tenure in international cricket as well as in PSL. he is comfortable when he knows how much he has to score"

Maryam: "Pakistan's think-tank is just as unpredictable as their team brings in an 18-year old debutant along with an old veteran"

Noon "Tails" is the call from Sarfraz. Pakistan will bowl first. Eighteen-year-old legspinner Shadab Khan, who impressed in the PSL, makes his international debut for Pakistan. Kamran Akmal returns for his first international after nearly three years. He will play as a specialist batsman. Sarfraz will keep wicket

Sarfraz Ahmed: The preparation for this tour has been good. We have enough (depth) in the squad.

Carlos Brathwaite: I actually wanted to bat first and put some runs on the board. It seems like a good pitch, the ball will come onto the bat. We are playing at home and we are confident. Unfortunately, Jason Mohammed and Jerome Taylor miss out. Rovman Powell makes his T20I debut.

11.45am Neither side have played a T20I since Pakistan beat West Indies 3-0 in the UAE last year. Both sides, however, are going through wretched runs of form, combining to win just two of their 17 games since then. Danyal Rasool sets you up nicely with the match preview, if you're just playing catch up.

Farhan: "Really looking forward to see trio of Rumman,Fakhar and Shadab playing tonight.These three have to play ,want to see Fakhar Zaman playing as an opener ."

Umar: "Why is Amir not in the squad?" He's been rested for the T20I series.

In case you missed it, yesterday marked 25 years since Pakistan's 1992 World Cup win. If you want to refresh your memories, this illustration would help.

11.35am Morning, if you're in the Caribbean and elsewhere in America. Good evening and hello to those logging in from Pakistan or elsewhere in the Asian subcontinent and Africa. This is the second leg of West Indies' home summer - if you don't remember, they were whitewashed by England many moons ago (just last month, I know). We start off with a format both sides enjoy and have found plenty of success at global events. For the record, Pakistan won 3-0 when the last time both sides met in the shortest format. Will things be different this time around?

16.1

CR Brathwaite to Shoaib Malik, 1 run, short on off, hops up and clips to mid-on.

Daniyal: "I don't get the criticism of Babar Azam. Yes, he had some ordinary strike-rates during the PSL but they weren't easy pitches and he had an out of sorts Gayle batting at the other end. In my opinion, he coped with it tremendously well."

JO Holder to Babar Azam, OUT, No run, slashed into the hands of short third man. Unlikely line, unlikely dismissal with both fine leg and third man in. But Azam hits it into the lap of Rovman. Very full and wide outside off, Babar throws his bat at the ball and skews it.

KA Pollard to Babar Azam, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, wide of the crease, and angled in on off, but the length is full. Babar gets under it and lofts it to the right of Rovman at long-on. Rovman was left wrong-footed and the ball winds the race.

13.2

KA Pollard to Shoaib Malik, 1 run, just short of a good length and outside off, Malik arches his back and glides the ball down to short third man.

13.1

KA Pollard to Shoaib Malik, No run, looks like a offcutter on off, worked to midwicket.

Pollard comes on for his rollers and cutters against his Karachi Kings team-mates

Syed : "Right now, Babar needs to finish the match. His strike rate isn't a problem as this is a small target to chase. Once he finishes this match, he will grow a hunger to do the same in the future. "

12.6

KOK Williams to Shoaib Malik, 1 run, back of a length on off, tip and run to cover.

12.5

Malik

8.4

CR Brathwaite to Mohammad Hafeez, OUT, No run, This is a skier. Both had ample time but neither called for the catch. Wicketkeeper Walton rams into the chest of his captain Brathwaite, who is thrown back by the impact. Man down now .Brathwaite, though, hung onto the overhead catch despite that nasty collision. Brathwaite is down. Banged in short and outside off, Hafeez is late onto the pull and top-edges it hiiiiigh into the sky. Drops down into the hands of Brathwaite. Walton gets an earful from an angry captain.

5.3

S Badree to Kamran Akmal, OUT, No run, six and out. Kamran ventures outside leg, Badree follows the moving batsman with a dipping knee-high full-toss. Kamran can't control a slog-sweep and holes out to Lewis at deep midwicket.

5.2

S Badree to Kamran Akmal, BOUNDARY, 6 runs, floated up on off, Kamran clears his front leg and hoists it over mid-off. Classy Is this 2005 all over again?.

4.3

JO Holder to Ahmed Shehzad, OUT, No run, Holder hits back. Back of a length and outside off - kicks up and seams away - Shehzad is up on his tippy toes as he wafts at the ball loosely. He only feeds an outside edge to wicketkeeper Walton. Waist-high catch.

S Badree to Ahmed Shehzad, BOUNDARY, 4 runs, hint of width, he rocks back and opens the bat face late to steer this between point and short third man. The distance between the advertising triangle and the hoarding is far too less. Rovman Powell smashes into the board and causes it much damage. Good to know he isn't hurt though..

0.5

S Badree to Ahmed Shehzad, 2 runs, worked into the gap at midwicket with soft hands. The square leg fielder had a lot of work to do.

Welcome back. The comeback men - Kamran Akmal and Ahmed Shehzad - are striding out to the middle. Will they approach the chase with a degree of caution or will they look to take the attack to the bowlers? Badree with the new ball.
